The news failed to please the market, as shares slumped 1.7% after New York trade ended.
Apple replaced the Lightning chargers on its latest iPhone series with a universal charger after a legal struggle with the EU.
The firm had long argued that its cable was more secure than USB-C chargers, which are already deployed by Apple on other devices and widely used by rivals including the world’s biggest smartphone maker Samsung. The firm is also caught up in diplomatic turbulence between the United States and China, with reports saying the communist government is banning civil servants from using its phones.
Apple also unveiled new models of the Apple Watch that would respond to a tap of the index finger and thumb to start and stop calls or other key functions.Like any other company, Apple would prefer to boast about shiny new features rather than new charging ports.EU policymakers said the rule would simplify the lives of Europeans and do away with a mountain of obsolete chargers.
The market seemed little impressed with Apple’s announcement and shares were down 1.7% as the end of the formal trading day in New York neared.
